Great fishing on the Truckee River. I don’t say it much, usually we have to put in work on this river, but it’s been really good lately, and easier fishing than normal. Like I say, we always get a 2-3 week stretch when the Truckee really shines. Flows have come down, about 650 cfs, here in Hirschdale, about the same West of Reno. Unless I specifically state the,

Another picture perfect day catching and releasing Lakers!!!

The flows on the Truckee have been steadily dropping and in just a week it has come down nearly 400 CFS throughout the entire California side of the river. We haven’t seen this affect the fishing negatively, and in fact, the fishing has been seemingly better as water temps rise into these trout’s ideal range, increasing their activity during all points in the day. As

We need your feedback! Join us this Sunday, June 5th at Lahontan State Recreation Area to share ideas about the future of Lahontan. The Nevada Division of State Parks will host a series of public workshops to gather input to help guide the Lahontan State Recreation Area Development Plan Update. The workshop series will kick off with a Planning Open House. The event will be held

Denis and Jeff are out camping at Desert Creek and tried their luck with fishing. They landed several but kept 2 to eat. They were using worms to catch their tigers. Thanks for sharing!

This Wildlife Wednesday, we look at a few fun photos from fishing Lahontan Reservoir over Memorial Day weekend. Check out this 6.2lb Walleye! The fishing is really starting to heat up, so get your license and get outside! #fishing #kidsfishing #Nevada Department of Wildlife

The lake level is holding, and the fishing has been good to fair. I fished last week with Renee (my better half). We trolled all morning long and the only fish we saw were schools of 30-pound carp swimming around the boat. We changed tactics and headed for the north end of the lake and before I could get one bite, Renee had hooked four

            We’ve waited to post these pics of stocking 7,500 3.5” brown trout in the east Carson, as ‘high’ as possible in Nevada.. ( our biologist wanted to see if it worked)     It DID! It was FABULOUS ! I think we only lost between 20-25 little ones out of that 7500.     Our kidneys got rocked on that road, but it’s been a work in progress of 3 +

The calm before the storm. So glad we had a window this morning to get you guys on some fish... Congratulations on the big day tomorrow

The Truckee river is flowing around 900 cfs through the downtown gauge. This is good for extending our summer fishing season and keeping flows we are hoping into August. It does make fishing a little difficult as there is more water in the river and more room for the fish to hide. We suggest that one should cover water effectively and methodically and assume the

Summer weather on the Truckee River. We look to have some cooling for the weekend, and back to the 70’s next week. Perfect weather. We’re having a good week. The warm weather kicked the river into acton and put water temps in the 50’s. 50’s is perfect. That kicks trout into high gear. 52-62, is what you’re looking for. We should stay in that temp frame

Spring runoff + off color water + overcast weather = great streamer fishing! Yep, I’m calling it, this weekend should make for excellent conditions for chucking meat as we are seeing all of the right criteria: cold windy days, overcast weather, high water with slight turbidity and good water temps. There are multiple ways to throw streamers and not necessarily any wrong way to do

Perfect day out there... Great having you back on board, and bringing a new face. Fun fishing with you both see you again soon

Tomorrow afternoon, after this shop working almost 3 years with NDOW ( some might call it badgering LOL) and Carson Valley ATV group (Grest Group!) we are finally going to be stocking some 3.5” baby browns in the East Carson near the inlet to Bryant creek! Our biologist of the area years ago would take his own vehicle down that nasty road and put these little

Sunny solid weather, and healthy flows here on the Truckee River. Good Spring weather, cold mornings, and warm afternoons. Good big flows, all up and down the river. Just a great time to be out. Flows are right below 900 cubes here in the Hirsch, and higher as you go down the river. 900 is high, but good. We have water coming out of Lake Tahoe too,

Some of our keepers today. Released more and kept good string for smoker!!

Had some first time Mack fishermen today. You guys were awesome!! See you out next time
